BOSTON – A Revere man pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court in Boston to illegally possessing ammunition in connection with a January shooting in a residential neighborhood of Everett.
Kenneth Munoz, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition. U.S. Senior District Court Judge William G. Young scheduled sentencing for April 9, 2025.
On the afternoon of Jan. 2, 2022, three individuals fired over 20 shots in an Everett neighborhood causing ballistic damage in the surrounding area, including bullet holes inside of bedrooms and living rooms in surrounding residences. The shooting was captured on video surveillance from nearby residences. Munoz was identified as one of the two shooters. Munoz is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to prior convictions.
The charge of being a felon in possession of ammunition provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Boston Field Division, Everett Police Chief Paul Strong and Chelsea Police Chief Keith E. Houghton made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Hoefle of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit is prosecuting the case.
